The ones made from recycled newspaper are very good and fairly inexpensive. We use Yesterday's News Ferret Litter. Their cat litter would work just as well for the problem you described and is fine for ferrets. We pay the extra for the ferret litter because it is in smaller pieces and seems to do a better job absorbing odor from our fuzzies' smaller poopies, not to mention their urine. We've also used Shepard & Greene's Ferret Litter when the store was out of our regular choice, but it is quite a bit more expensive. There are many brands of this type of litter, both for cats and ferrets, and aside from the size of the pieces, there really is no difference between the cat and ferret varieties. I hope this helps. Take care, Caity (with eight well litter trained ferts :) ________________________________________________ Caitlyn M. Martin [log in to unmask] http://www.caitys-world.com "Good grief, man!
